A popular route for commuters in Winnipeg will be closed starting on Friday.

Northbound and southbound Pembina Highway will be closed between Jubilee Avenue and Stafford Street.

The closure begins Friday at 8 p.m. and lasts until Tuesday at 4 a.m.

The City says round-the-clock construction will take place for the new transitway over the Pembina Bridge.

To improve traffic flow, the City has restricted parking on nearby streets; eastbound on Jubilee Street between Nassau Street South and Osborne Street, and northbound on Osborne Street next to the Brandon Avenue intersection.
